    Provided you didn't erase/overwrite the hard disk reinstall: read the manual and do a HDD recovery.
    Otherwise, ring Dell and ask them for discs.

    If you can get a hold of the blue Dell operating disc, you can just re-install XP - even without the keycode. Any one of these discs will do, you can borrow one off a mate.
